Born at Kottapalli in Andhra Pradesh Krishnamurti had a flair for music from
his childhood and learnt classical Carnatic music at the Maharaja’s
College of Music at Vizayanagaram. His music was further groomed by
Dr. Sripada Pinakapani. His facile voice, classical, bhava-laden
style, rich imagination and well-balanced presentation have made him
one of the top-notch vocalists of today. His contribution towards
popularising Annamacharya's compositions cannot be exaggerated.
